ENG vs SL 3rd ODI Predictions & Betting Tips

England and Sri Lanka will be squaring off one last time to play the final One-Day International of the series, which is scheduled to be hosted at the County Ground in Bristol on July 4, Sunday. I have managed to accumulate three of the best betting tips from the ENG vs SL 3rd ODI match prediction.

After crushing Sri Lanka in 5 games, England are on route to achieve a complete whitewash. England fielded their best team and made their intentions clear that in no way they are taking their opponent lightly. They swept the T20I series 3-0 and they are already 2-0 up in the ongoing ODI series as well. England are strong enough to achieve this feat and it is highly likely they are going to complete a clean sweep tomorrow against Sri Lanka.

Sri Lanka are hapless and are staring at yet another series defeat. They have nothing to lose and that is why I feel they should play a fearless brand of cricket in the ultimate game of this England tour. If they manage to beat England in this upcoming game, it is going to give Sri Lanka a much-needed morale boost ahead of their limited over series against India later this month. For now, I have managed to assort three of the best betting tips from the ENG vs SL match prediction.

ENG vs SL 3rd ODI Player Bets:

If you are to check the odds for the team markets, you will know why I had to go for the player bets. Joe Root, Jonny Bairstow and Jason Roy are the three Englishmen that I have picked from the ENG vs SL 3rd ODI match prediction.

Joe Root to score over 44.5 runs

Joe Root has come back in form in white-ball cricket and skipper Eoin Morgan is already considering the former captain for the T20 squad as well in the upcoming ICC World T20. The right-handed batsman has scored two half-centuries in two matches he has played in this ongoing series. In 151 ODIs so far, Root has gone on and scored 6109 runs at an average of 51.33. By the way, the former skipper is yet to be dismissed in this series against Sri Lanka.

Root has played 27 50-over games against Sri Lanka and has scored 1175 runs at an average of 65.27. He has scored 3202 runs while playing on the English soil at an average of 50.82. Under the leadership of Eoin Morgan, Root has notched up 4615 runs at an average of 53.66. Dafabet is offering odds of 1.87 for Joe Root to score over 44.5 runs in the ENG vs SL 3rd ODI match prediction.

Jonny Bairstow to score over 41.5 runs

In the absence of Jos Buttler, Jonny Bairstow has taken over the wicket-keeping duties. But here we are going to talk about his batting antics. Bairstow has slowly become one of the forces to reckon with in 50-over cricket. He comes in with the experience of 88 ODI matches and 3498 runs at an average of 47.91. While playing on the English soil, Bairstow has played 53 matches and has 2342 runs against his name at an average of 55.76.

In 5 matches this ongoing calendar year, Bairstow has raced up 291 runs at an impressive average of 58.20. The right-handed batsman has played 74 matches under the captaincy of Eoin Morgan and has 3162 runs at a very good average of 51.00. In the third match of any ODI series, the attacking batsman has an average of 44.73. Dafabet is offering odds of 1.87 for Jonny Bairstow to score over 41.5 runs in the ENG vs SL 3rd ODI match prediction.

Jason Roy to score over 35.5 runs

Last but not the least, we have one of the England openers Jason Roy as our ultimate pick from this particular fixture! Jason Roy has become an integral part of this Three Lions limited overs squad and especially, at the top of the order. Roy added 60 runs to the team’s total from just 52 balls in the previous game. Overall he has played 97 ODI matches and has 3658 runs at an average of 40.19.

The swashbuckling opener has played 11 matches against Sri Lanka and has 490 runs at an incredible average of 54.44. He has also played 53 matches on the home soil and has scored 2238 runs at an average of 43.03. In the ongoing calendar year, Roy has been averaging 43.75 with the bat. Dafabet is offering odds of 1.87 for Jason Roy to score over 35.5 runs in the ENG vs SL match prediction.
